The author, has ‘suc: :.

* effective Noveinber 1, 1974, and

wiil be upgraded «again. in:
November 1975. ~The‘ goal"!

Mr. Ouellet said; “Is to provide —

protection for children in
automobile crashes ‘at least:
equal ta. that built into new cars
for the driver and adult
passengers. The two-stage
approach was taken to provide
manufacturers with a

‘reasonable amount of time for

product. research and
development to achieve this
better child protection and to
avoid the need - for further
changes in the
regulations in the foreseeable
future.”’ , ;
. Departmental test work:
completed in'1973 showed that
accident injury could be
reduced through minor changes
fo many seat designs meeting
the 1972 regulatory
requirements. This was the
basis for the regulatlons which
have just become effective.

“In view of the thousands of
injuries which occur to children
in vehicle accidents each year, 1
am sure there will be
agreement wilh any move to
speed up the application of new
knowledge in. this field", the
Minister said.

“T understand that products
meeting the November 1974
requirements have been

distributedin large quantities to .

major retailers and thal some
are currently selling for about
$20", Mr. Quellet advised. “I
that
reasonably-priced seals will
also be available, probably
much sooner than required by
law, which ‘will meet. the
November 1975 regulations. 1
count ori retailers to ensure
adequate and early distribution
of seals availablenow andin the

’ future, :

“Tain also concerned”, the
Minister. continued, ‘‘that

consumers know ‘exactly what .

to Jook for. when’ purchasing
children's car ‘seats.- All

_ products now being offered for -

sale mustcarry (his statement:

‘ ‘THIS PRODUCT COMPLIES |

WITH THE APPLICABLE
REQUIREMENTS OF . THE
CHILDREN'S CAR SEATS
AND. HARNESSES
REGULATIONS”.

-Mr. Ouellet added — that
departmental inspectors were
acting as quickly as possible to
clear the market of any non-

‘pomplying “products, but that

consumers should double check
to ensure thal the statement of
compliance, is on any seat they

purchase. Deparlmental lests

on seats complying with the
‘current’: regulatory
requirements demonstrate thal

they provide good protection --
under frontal impact conditions

up lo speeds ‘of thirty miles per
hour provided they are properly
Installed. Parents are urged lo

«lake every. care. to follow

manufacturers’ instructions.

- “Many seats now in the hands -

of consumers, bought -since
1972, could be easily modified ta
provide far greater proection”, ,
Mr, Ouellet said. :
He added that his Department
is preparing a fact sheet on
these modifications which will

wish lo recelve this fact sheet.
